fleaThings Casper said yesterday:
"Jesus Christ! I don't want to take a bath!"
"I am asking my damn mom for some cheese."
She learned both from me. At least I don't drop 'motherfucker' much. In response to the first, I said, "Jesus Christ would want you to take a bath. He likes it when people are clean." In response to the second I explained that this was a bad and rude word and she shouldn't say it, and if I said it she should remind me that is it wrong and I would apologize. So, let's hope that helps, and she doesn't go corrupting her friends at school.
It does make me realize how funny it is that I, an atheist, have chosen "Jesus Christ!" as a swear word.

Date: 2007-11-14 02:37 am (UTC)Seems sensible enough to me; I can't imagine being both religious and comfy with it as a swear word. I'm so imprinted with NO BLASPHEMY that I can barely say the words "Jesus Christ" when they're part of an actual prayer.
Secular cuss words, though? Oh dear. Since Matilda spends so much time in the car commuting with me, I can't even begin to say just how grateful I am that her first words are in fact "Mama" and "Dada" and not "Cocksucking fuckbucket waste of carbon, you bastard son of a cockbite!"
